I have a question about adding a variable to the output of format-list. When I run the command:
get-CsAdUser | Format-List DisplayName, Enabled
I get the output
DisplayName : user01
Enabled : True
DisplayName : user02
Enabled : False
I have a variable $var1 = "folder one" that I need to add to the output so it looks like :
DisplayName : user01
Enabled : True
folder one
DisplayName : user02
Enabled : False
folder one
Anyone have an idea on how to do this? Thanks

However, it is preferable to have an actual answer post that can be marked as accepted so as to signal to future readers what solution truly solved the OP's problem.
As PetSerAl notes:
get-CsAdUser | Format-List DisplayName, Enabled, @{Label = 'Folder'; Expression = {$var1}}
adds a third property to each input object's output that prints the value of variable $var1 as an ad-hoc, calculated property named Folder, following the preexisting DisplayName and Enabled properties.
The @{ Label = ...; Expression = ... } part of the command is a PowerShell hashtable literal that is an instance of a calculated property, which you can use with Select-Object, Format-Table, and Format-List, as described in this answer of mine.
Folder: folder oneinstead of justfolder one?Folder: folder onewill workget-CsAdUser | Format-List DisplayName, Enabled, @{ Label = 'Folder'; Expression = { $var1 } }
